Would you let your 15 year old daughter go to NYC for a day with her 13 and 19 y/o cousins? (I live on Long Island.)

Do you really have to ask? Or is this just to prove to her that most parents on Yahoo agree with you?
Tell her it isn't because you don't trust her (or her cousins)...it's everybody else. Not saying that everyone from NYC is bad but knowing your daughter's luck she'd find the one person who was looking for trouble.

Yes, as long as they are equipped with a cellphone, and should be able to call you every couple of hours or so to update you where they are, and if they abide by a certain curfew (maybe 9pm?). They are supervised by an adult (19yo) and make it clear that he/she is responsible for the younger teens.

Well that all depends..
1.) If you are an idiot parent that likes to take chances such as having your child disappear or worse then yes by all means send her along
2.) If you are a semi responsible parent/adult with half a brain then definately no....tough shiit what she wants

Yeah why not? I mean unless they are into trouble or bad things...or your daughter can't be trusted for whatever reason(s) of course not.
But otherwise, so what? She is just going with family members.

If I totally trusted her, then yes. I would make sure she had her cell with her so she could check in, but yes, I would let her go.

Yeah why not..... unless you don't trust the cousins. If you don't let her go she might rebel. You're close anyway.

by themselves, heck no. Too much stuff that could happen. Maybe you should wait a few more years.

Yeah, an adult is going.
